'Application filed October 5,1914. Serial. N0. 855,163.

To all whom it-may concern:

Be it known that I, 'FRANxVANDnRL-AAN, a subject of the Queen of Holland, residing at Holmem in the county of La Crosse and State of Wisconsin, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in- Pail-Supporters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the Same.

.This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in pail supporters and has for its primary object to provide a form of supporter which maybe readily attached to a pail or the like to support the same upon the knees of a party, thereby making itunnecessary fora party milking to employ one hand for holding the pail or else merely rest the pail upon the ground.

- The invention has for another object to providea pail support of this character which will be of exceedingly simple construction and may be readily supported by the handle supporting ears without materially altering the construction of the ears.

gas

The invention has for a further object to provide a pail supporter of-tlns character .which will be of exceedingly simple and cheap construction as well as highly eflicient' in use and which, when not in operative position will lie against the side of the pail beneath the handle ears and which will also be provided with means for limiting upward swinging movement of said supporters.

With the above and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combina tion and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. a

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following' description and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved supporters attached to a milking pail of conventional design. Fig. 2. is a view similar to Fig. 1 with the supporters raised to operative position. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail cross section on the plane of line 33 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow. Fig. a is an enlarged frag,

mentary side elevation at right angles; to Figs. 1 and'2 showing the manner in which the supporters are mounted in the handle carrying ears, and Fig. 5 1s a fragmentary.

designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 designates a pail of conventional form having the usual bail handle 2 which has its-opposite ends" turned inwardly and secured in the upper smaller end.

3 of the pail handle supporting ears 4: which are of substantially U-shapeform and con structed of strong wire, the opposite legs of the --wircforming each I ear 4 diverging slightly from the upper small end 8 of the ear which is the center of the substantially U-shape' wire, the free ends of the legs of the wire-being bent parallel to ohe another, as shown at 5, and then looped as shown at 6 and engaged around the rivets 7 or other suitable securing means employed for sect rmg the cared to the opposite sides of the pail. The parallel portions of the legs of the Ushaped members forming the ears 4 are offset outwardly and looped, as shown.

at 8 to form supporting eyes/for the pail supports which have their straight inner ends 9 engaged through said oil-set and looped portions 8. The pail supports are designated by the numeral 10 and are loop Shape with their opposite sides curved upwardly, as will be readily understood by referringto the drawings.

The opposite sides of the pail supporters 10 are curved outwardly so that they may readily rest across the limbs of the party or sides of the pail supporters 10 are ex-- tended, the stop loops 11 being adapted for engagement against the sides of the pail 1 when said supporters are in their raised or extended positions.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that I have provided a pull supporter and handle carrying ear of extremely simple- 'construction and which will be strong and .durable as .wellas highly efiicient in use and It will also be seen cheap to manufacture. that this form of supporter and handle carrying earmay be readily attached to pails of the form now in general use.

While the'preferred embodiment of the invention. has been shown and illustrated, it will be understood that minor changes in the details-of construction and arrangement of parts'may be made within the scope of the appended claims'without departing from thespirit of the invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

VVhat'is claimed is 1. The combination wlth a pail and pail handle, of a pair of handle carrying, cars mediate members therein, its upper loop adapted to thereof Copies of this patent may be obtained for formed of a single piece of wire looped centrally and provided with outwardly diverging legs, which are offset outward, terminal ends terminating into rivet reCe1V1I1gyelets, for. securing the same to a pail, interloops adapted to hold supporting receive the ends of the pail handle when the same is in use.

2. The combination with a pail and pail handle, of a pair of handle carrying ears formed of a piece of Wire looped centrally forming two'arms, sald arms having. outwardly offset loops intermediate their ends their terminal ends terminating-into rivet receiving eyelets for securing the ears to the side of a pail, a plurality of pail supporters secured through the intermediate loop, means at the inner ends ofthe' supporting members adapted to engage the sides of the pail to prevent the upward move ment of the samewhen in use. I

a 31 The combination with a pail and handle thereof, of a pair'of handle carrying ears formed of wire, said ears looped centrally forming two outwardly diverging arms, said arms being offset outwardly intermediate their endsforming supportlng loops, the terminal ends of said arms terminating into rivet receiving loops for securing the ears to the side of a pail, a pair of L-shaped supporting members having their inner ends curved upwardly secured through the intermediate loops, their. up-

turned ends adapted to engage the outer surface of a pail and limit the upward move ment of said. supporting members, the longer arm or main portion of said L-shaped members being curved to conform t0 the legs for supporting a pail therebetween when in use. .a

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
